North Queensland Bulk Ports Corp. (NQBP) announced DBCT Management and the Adani Group are the preferred proponents for the development of new coal export infrastructure at Dudgeon Point.

The next step is to prepare a master plan for coal export infrastructure to assist in the potential allocation of land.

DBCT Management leases the adjacent Dalrymple Bay Coal Terminal which it has recently expanded to 85 million metric tons per year (mtpy), which is the maximum capacity on the available footprint. DBCT Management plans to provide new capacity in the Port of Hay Point in response to access requests that DBCT Management has advised it has received from customers of the expansion of DBCT. Dudgeon Point is located approximately 15 km south of Mackay on the Queensland Coast and lies within the Port of Hay Point about 4 km north of the existing coal terminals.
